Scare them that when Cruz is elected POTUS, interest rates will rise and they will be unable to afford funding for their project. Or, encourage them to apply for grants offered by Obama before Cruz  vetos all grant money. 

 On second thought, I have to assume you do not bid projects funded with Federal or State grant money paid by taxpayers.

However, as you know there is alot of money that goes to rural and poorer cities and counties that can be applied to projects in you area of expertise. The key I have seen over the years is  bid low and then during the project there are change orders that I always feel is the profit since they are not bid.
